Hello, new user just registered so beg pardon if I'm breaking protocol or posting in the wrong spot.

Wondering if any of you friends and neighbors know whether the Rock Creek road is open all the way to final TH at Mosquito Flat?

Thanks much!

Hi Bruce,

Welcome to HST!
Your answer lie here, scroll down to Road Status: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/inyo/ ... width=full" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for that reply, Maverick. Open all the way as of Oct 31, that is promising!

I called the dept to get an up-to-date answer. Gets a little convoluted - Inyo is responsible for only the lower portion of Rock Creek Rd, and Mono for the higher elevation portion. I called both - Inyo directed me to Mono, and Mono is automated with no info for anything beyond hwy's.

So we'll roll the dice and give it a try!

Update if anyone else is looking an answer:

Just spoke to the folks at Rock Creek Lodge - the road is open all the way to Mosquito Flat. Woooooooooot!

Just got home from a tour of the eastside .I checked out whitney, big pine , and rock creek trail heads all open. BTW the bristlcone pine forest is open great stars up there
